20mm spacer questions

Has any one had any trouble using the H&R DRM or Ichiba version 2 bolt on spacers on their z? I've read about issues of stock lugs being too long???

20mm will be fine. Anything less is a no go for bolt on. (with stock 370X wheels)

Nope, no problems. I'm running 20mm spacers on all 4 corners.

Thanks for the reply's!!! I'll be running 19x9.5 41 offset on the front and 19x10.5 27 offset on the rear with 20mm spacer on the front and 15mm on the rear. I'm hoping this will work out well for my NISMO

Better is the V1 for 20mm. I have 20mm V1 all around, the only thing is a little vibration at certain speed, then it goes away.

V2

I think it is just stance.

I enquired about then for the track and was told soundly "NO!".

That's because stance, you're going 5mph on any type of road imperfection.

Track, you're going as quick as possible, putting unnecessary stress on the lugs. To me, 5mm spacers are the max I would recommend.

Thats exactly why i dont want them on my car. The roads around here are chopped up and I cant predict how fast i might be going on them here and there... The last thing i want to have happen is be "spirited driving" and have an issue...
